Mikey1874 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 (edited) This afternoon's game was played in a very good spirit. Afghan cricket did develop in Pakistan originally of course (refugees from Russian invasion). I do often wonder of all the nations there, India gets an easy ride over here.

We should consider bringing laws similar to this for Edinburgh derbies, whenever Hibs win. Would only be used very rarely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malinga the Swinga Posted October 31, 2021 Author Share Posted October 31, 2021 Only good thing is, they will most likely have to play India/Pakistan to win and both of these sides are also top class. So far, England and Pakistan are best in groups but with T20 when it comes to semi final and final, anything could happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they shouldn't be so insular and play in the other events like the BBL, Rand Slam etc. Think the players would like to but India are away touring so often, it would prove difficult. They aren't allowed to play in PPL just as Pakistani players can't play in IPL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobboM Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Interesting test for England today as Sri Lanka win the toss and England have to bat first. They've won 3 out of 3 chasing low totals but lost a warm up game to India batting first. Btw a wee bit off topic but every time I hear that song/jingle on Sky Cricket channel for this tournament I'm sure they're singing "Let's ****ing love this game", just me?

Malinga the Swinga Posted November 3, 2021 Author Share Posted November 3, 2021 (edited) Allie Evans is, at this level, an absolute liability. It's the equivalent of standing there throwing underhand lobs at batter and they can just smash it wherever. Just under 50 in 4 overs. No threat whatsoever. He needs thanked and consigned to bin.

Mikey1874 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 It's going to be an interesting challenge today. The way the group is New Zealand qualify alongside Pakistan if they beat Namibia this morning and then Afghanistan on Sunday. But if Afghanistan beat New Zealand then India have a chance on goal difference ('net run rate'). So India will want to destroy Scotland. Score 250 if they bat first for example. So a new experience and challenge for the Scotland players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waving the bat about and going back onto the stumps against spinners of this calibre us fatal. A real education for Scotland in these Super 12 matches. Let's hope the lessons are learned. Well next year T20 world cup in Australia so different pitches, but lessons need to be learned. Not just us though, Bangladesh, Namibia & West Indies have all found these pitches hard going.

On another note this Pant wank gets on my tits with his stupid feckin giggle at nearly every ball. A Gray Nicholls in the pus would soon shut his yap. He's a quality player, but like all keepers, a complete pain in backside. Jadeja is a nightmare. Two step darts that grip and turn. At least Leask gave it a go.

I saw both him and Rod Marsh at The Oval during an Ashes series in the 70s. My grandfather worked down in Clapham and one of his colleagues was a Surrey member. He got me tickets for the old Vauxhall End. Back then you could walk around on the outfield during the morning warm ups and get close to them all. Lillee, Marsh, Max Walker, Ian Chappell, Knott, Edrich and many more. I can't remember if Thommo played..... This is where my love of cricket began. Wonderful players. Mines was from Scarborough festival. Watched loads of Yorkshire games. Highlight was seeing Viv Richards scoring 100 at Lord's though.
